OK. I have two theories. The first is a question:<br>
<br>
1. I know what libasound_module_pcm_jack.so does -- but what does <a href="http://libasound_module_pcm_jack.la" target="_blank">libasound_module_pcm_jack.la</a>
do? It has been said that the ALSA2Jack plugin won't work at all
without the .la file, but it was working perfectly over here without
it. Is the .la something Ubuntu-specific? Or...?<br>
<br>
2. Theory #2 is the better because it accounts for the fact that it
was working pretty well: might the ALSA2Jack plugin have trouble
handling multiple streams at once? If so, is there a streams-mixing
plugin I can use before ALSA2Jack, to make this work better?<br>
<br>
J.E.B.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>1) It has been said wrong. It's not that it doesn't work without the libtool file, but it's because what's being done is using the library (*.so) off of somewhere and not one which was meant and built for your system (differing versions). Libtool helped here by making sure libraries are properly linked.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Open up a *.la and you'll see what I mean.</div><div><br></div><div>2) No. Every alsa app registers a port with JACK when the plug-in is active. Those that don't are defective.</div></div>
